S1.E2 | Devin Booker & Gilbert Arenas

Episode 2 of Basketball Now & Then spotlights a dynamic scoring comparison between Devin Booker and Gilbert Arenas; two elite guards known for their ability to take over games. The episode explores how both players built reputations as fearless bucket-getters, capable of erupting for big scoring nights while carrying the offensive load for their teams.

The hosts dive into their offensive similarities, highlighting Booker’s polished footwork, midrange mastery, and efficiency alongside Arenas’ explosive scoring bursts, deep shooting range, and unshakable confidence.
